Taom V10

Do you really think this $6.90 chalk is actually Taom V10?


Sure it's walmart.com, but this is not sold by Walmart - it's their version of Amazon, a marketplace where anybody can list things.
Here are 3 of the 4 customer reviews:

"it's too dark it's powdery it don't work right it ain't same as it should be it ain't what is supposed to be"

"Counterfeit product,do not purchase"

"FRAUDULENT, COUNTERFIT!!!
RETURNED IT TO WALMART. IT'S COUNTERFIT, FRAUDULENT. TAOM IS MADE IN FINLAND NOT CHINA. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN COLOR OF TTHE CHALK. TAOM IS 21.00 A PIECE. I TOOK A CHANCE SINCE IT WAS 2 FOR 21.00. AS SOON AS I OPENED IT, I SAID NO GO."
Walmart has been trying to compete with amazon, so they are selling 3rd party items on their site. This one is an example. The product is sold by Tpangin, whatever that is, with a 2.7 star rating.

2026 WPA Predator Men's World 10 Ball Saigon

Looks like 15 of the last 16 on the men's side carry a Fargo of 800+. The outlier, Felix Vogel, plays 800+ speed in my eyes. Felix won a 10ball major already this year at Predator Austria and came 5th at the US Open 9ball. Cinderellas need not apply.

This event is sure to produce great drama in the final stages, not to mention a very worthy champion. An event that was dragging along in its early stages should be electrifying from this point on.

Good luck to the sixteen that remain. May the best man win.

Mathematical analysis of Predator format (sets)

World 10ball Stage 1 is best of three sets. World 10ball Stage 2 is best of five sets. Which type of match have you analyzed?
Didn't realize that. I was doing best of 3 sets.

For best of 5:

- The odds of Player A winning against player B: 81.26%
- The odds of Player A winning the match but NOT winning more racks: 2.75%
- The odds of the match going to a shootout: 4.71%
- The average number of racks played: 22.52

So that falls right between a race-to-13 and a race-to-14.
